An uncrewed aircraft is a drone. Uncrewed aerial vehicles or unmanned aircraft systems are more official names for drones. A drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly on its own using flight plans controlled by software, onboard sensors, and a global positioning system.

UAVs were frequently linked to the military. They were first employed as platforms for weapons, which was more contentious and intelligence collection.
